PSYD32H3 Lecture Notes - Frontal Lobe, Trait Theory, Antipsychotic
Document Summary
The public often uses the word antisocial meaning someone who is shy, introverted and so forth. But this is not the way we use it in a psychological manner. Paul barnardo was a serial killer and rapist, which he committed with his wife karla homolka and the serial rapes he committed in scarborough. Antisocial personality psychology usually begins at a young age. Sometimes it is hard to dissociate antisocial behaviour and apd. This shows you that this really is a personality trait that has become disordered in the individual. A conduct disorder; aggression to people and animals, destruction of property, deceitfulness or theft, and serious violations of rules: the occurrence of antisocial behaviour is not exclusively during the course of schizophrenia or a manic episode. 2% of general population is affected by this: rates for men (3%) substantially higher than for women (1%).
